alright I know, another rein hate thread. but I’m afraid with no new heroes coming and all tanks jumping ship we’ve gotten into the issue of oppressive reinhardt is oppressive. Banning him 1 week at a time and letting him opress us again when he returns isn’t the solution it’s making him not so suffocating so the other tanks can get time to shine.
I’m open to better suggestions here though for how to open up the tank role for more players in the current status of the game knowing echo is our final hero for the next 7 months.
If Reinhardt is nerfed, a lot of tank players will be very upset. This week of bans have proved that rein by himself isnt inherently oppressive. The problem is he’s so much better than the other tanks specifically that he seems op. On the surface though, rein is very easy to deal with.
I think sigma, orisa, and Winston need TANK ORIENTED buffs to allow them to compete. As well, possibly nerf reins movement speed with his shield up if he’s still too good. However I believe we should be focusing on improving the rest of the tank roster rather than butchering our last good anchor tank.
Reinhardt isn’t even overpowered or anything. Against Mei/Reaper/Sombra/Torb he practically can’t even play the game. What about Rein is oppressive? I agree that other (main) tanks aren’t that good right now, but that’s because they’re just not that good, not because Rein is busted. Rein is in a good place, I’d rather see the other tanks be brought up to match rather than the last semi-decent performing tank to be nerfed.
Nerfing rein, the only good tank, will make tank players stop playing tanks.
Buff other tanks, so we can play anyone other than Rein.
It’s like you are given the choice of 3 sandwiches.
Sandwich A is a classic ham and cheese.
Sandwich B is moving around and screaming
Sandwich C was dropped in dog crap.
Ham and cheese is good. My favorite sandwich, and a lot of people love it. But if you are given that choice every day, and you have to eat ham and cheese day after day, you get sick of it.
The way to fix it, is not to set the ham and cheese on fire, making you eat the writhing sandwich or the crap sandwich, you get better sandwiches so I don’t have to eat a Ham and cheese.
I’m really hungry now. Anyone want a ham and cheese?
